Birth of Vengeance (Gehenna cover) 2:30 release notes: Death Prayer Records released this Florida band's new EP Retribution. In a nutshell, this EP delivers engulfing music, raging black metal that's also dramatic and expansive, designed to overpower and overwhelm. It begins with gunfire and sirens and then becomes a gale-force storm pierced by scalding vocal savagery. The sound is explosively powerful but sharp in sound, and the intensity is unrelenting. The drumming sounds like weaponry, a fully stocked armament furiously deployed. The rapidly whirring riffage broadly sweeps as it violently roils, but the music often sounds desperate and anguished as well as cold and cruel. It's especially cold and cruel when Ars Subversor constrain their expansiveness and inflict feral slashing chords and brutish stomping beats. The songs create terrible and tragic grandeur, operating on a broad scale. The EP sounds as much like pain and condemnation as it does retribution. It's excellent.
